It’s the original budget beauty buy.

When we’re thinking of those tried-and-true products, Ponds products are always at the top of the list.

Makeup Remover

This one’s probably a bit obviousit’s on the bottle, after all.

With so many cleansers on the market though, it’s easy for Ponds to fall off the radar.

Luckily for our wallets (9.5 oz.

of Ponds clocks in under $10) , Grandma makes a case for bringing it back to basics.

Take a dollop of Ponds Cleansing Cream and gently massage it all over your face including lips and eyelids.

Wipe it away with a warm, wet cloth.

You’ll be amazed at how your makeup just melts awayeven long-wear lipstick and waterproof mascara.

Take a look through any beauty store and you’ll see pretty little bottles paired with hefty price tags.

Next time you’re in need of a super-powered cure-all, opt for a Ponds mask.

Moisturizer and Makeup Base

Before all those fancy primers and pore perfectors, there was Ponds.

Use it as a base for makeup by applying as you would atypical moisturizer.

Let it soak in before applying your foundation.

Makeup Spot Cleanup

A shaky lined eye and a smudge of red lipstick have met their match.

Grandma used a cotton swab to apply just where needed.

Use the dry side of the cotton swab to remove the unwanted makeup and, voila!

No need to start from scratch when a spot treatment can get the job done this well.

Grandma would slather it on after her nightly bath before climbing into bed.
